Folks,

Long-term planning here. I'm looking at my dining room, which has a
nice
new "antique pine" laminate flooring, needing trim, new windows in need
of
trim (bare sheetrock, and just studs where one was taken out), etc, and
LOML
and I think that wainscoting (frame and raised panel style), chair rail
and
crown are the order of the day to fix it (after a complete re-sheetrock
so
I
can insulate the walls, replace crappy wiring, blahblah).

I'm having one problem figuring this out, however. The windows are
low --
28" off the floor. While height rules for chair rail and wainscoting
are
flexible, and the room is short (7'8" or so), that's too low for me.
Just
drawing on the wall confirms this. What I've not been able to find so
far
is a good reference -- eg, decent pictures or drawings -- showing the
proper
continuation of window molding and wainscoting profiles where it goes
under
the window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Not sure I understand. Are you asking what you should do to get a nice
abutment of the wainscoting with the window apron below the stool?

My problem is that the raised panels in the wainscoting will themselves be
taller than the bottom of the window, so I cannot continue the same pattern
under the windows as the rest of the wall. If I measure and mark correctly,
I'll get a raised panel that ends right before the window, and might just
use wider/shorter panels under... that might just do it. I'd like to see
pics/drawings of how people have done this, though, to get an idea of if
it's right.

thanks!
